I trust I have made It clear that the workings of the Japanese mind are odd, but I should add that the workings of the Japanese cameramen who made this film are ingenious and aesthetic. Some of the shots of bleak, rush-grown coun- try are undeniably fascinating. -JOHN MCCARTEN . Is IT POSSIBLE THAT I AM Now DREAMING? John 0 Nelson, University of Colorado It is agreed that philosophers are right in claiming that we have no way of know- ing whether we are awake or dreaming. But it is denied that if we have no way of knowing whether we are awake or dream- ing, then it is always possible that we may be dreaming, no matter how convinced we may be of the contrary. It is maintained, in this respect, that it is a fact that I am now reading a paper and not in bed dream- ing; and hence it is in no sense possible that I am no\v in bed dreaming. The rest of the paper is devoted to a discussion and refutation of philosophical objections to the statement that it is not possible that I am now in bed dreaming. The objection that this must be shown to be the case is refuted by showing that the objection poses an illegitimate and meaningless demand. The objection that it is thinkable and therefore possible that I am now in bed dreaming is discussed. It is shown that it is not thinkable by those listening to the paper that I am in bed dreaming that I perceive them; nor is it thinkable on my part that I am in bed dreaming that I per- ceive the persons listening to my paper. The consideration that in dreams one may think that he is dreaming is treated I t is shown that this consideration does not establish that I can now think that I am in bed dreaming. The argument is posed that I can im- agine that I am now in bed dreaming and not awake and thus that it is thinkable and possible that I am no\\. in bed dreaming. This argument is shown to be specious. -Bulletin of the Western Divislon of the American Phil oso phical Association. Not if the bed looks mussy. '.'" .. g ;.W" '0/ """......-....c 67 '%.....
